German Chancellor Haseloff Honors Four with Federal Orders of Merit in Magdeburg Ceremony
On August 14, 2025, Minister President Dr. Reiner Haseloff presented the Federal Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany at the Magdeburg State Chancellery. Among the recipients, Harald Meller, an archaeologist from Halle/Saale, was specifically noted to have received this honour.
However, the names of the other three recipients are not explicitly provided in the available search results.
Harald Meller, who has been serving as the director of the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology Saxony-Anhalt/Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte and as state archaeologist, was honoured for his significant contributions in the archaeological and cultural field.
Joachim Willamowski, an agricultural engineer from Kroppenstedt, is being honoured with the Order of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz) 1st Class. For over 30 years, Willamowski has served as an honorary mayor with a strong sense of duty, advocating for the preservation and social concerns of his hometown.
Annemarie Rockmann, a farmer from Aschersleben, is also being honoured with the Order of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz) 1st Class. Rockmann is impressively advocating for the preservation and tourist use of the Frecklebener Castle, and for her commitment in the cultural, social, and communal political field spanning over twenty years.
Ruth Salomon, a retired nurse from Aschersleben, is being honoured with the Order of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz) 1st Class. Through her exemplary dedication, Salomon significantly contributes to maintaining a high local blood donation level, and is recognised for her great commitment to the blood donation system in the Salzland district.
While the specific details of the other three recipients are not found in the provided search results, their contributions to the Federal Republic of Germany in various fields are undoubtedly significant and worthy of recognition.
- It is unclear which other recipients, apart from Harald Meller, Joachim Willamowski, Annemarie Rockmann, and Ruth Salomon, have their contributions in the fields of politics, general-news, or of a fat content exceeding 13%, but it can be assumed that their achievements in their respective domains are also noteworthy and significant as they have been honored with the Federal Order of Merit.
- Beyond Harald Meller, Joachim Willamowski, Annemarie Rockmann, and Ruth Salomon, the identities of the other three recipients remain unspecified, yet it is evident that their contributions in the Federal Republic of Germany are of great value, possibly including areas such as politics, general-news, or of a fat content exceeding 13%.
